Malay Glycosmis is scattered in low-altitude forests in Taiwan. Its Chinese name, pronounced as “Shiling”, is a well-known species “the Orange Jasmine”. Taiwan’s plants often add the word "uncle" in the name which means they are similar to each other. Shiling uncle means the plant looks like Orange Jasmine. The flowers are tiny, and the ripe round fruits are crystal clear and lovely, translucent like pink jelly, which can attract birds. Edible to people, but the edible part is very thin. The hard wood can be used to make small utensils such as knife handles, and the roots and leaves have medicinal purpose.
